InShot Processing Interrupted Error

Workaround available iOS, Android Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

'Processing interrupted' means InShot couldn't finish writing the video. It's almost always low internal storage: saving needs about 3x the video size free. Free space, restart the phone and save the draft again.

Most likely fix: Free internal storage (about 3x the video size).

Symptoms

Saving stops partway (often around 13% or 99%) with 'Processing interrupted', sometimes followed by 'Save failed, try again'. Retrying fails the same way.
